Stanford and Stockbridgc.

Senator Stanford is looking forward with
great pleasure to meeting Senator-elect
Stockbridge, of Michigan. He learned yes
terday that Stoclibridgc was an admirer of
bis famous horse Electioneer. The way he
learned it wns q little peculiar. Some time
ago Martin, Senator Stanfords manager at
the famous Palo Alto farm i'll California,
where, besides Electionecr, there are thirty
other magnificent stations advised the SEN
ator that he had sold two fine 3year-old stall
lions for 5000 apiece. This was good
price, but the senator did not think it was
enough, and telegraphed asking if the sale
was absolute. Martin answered thatit was,
and, furthermore, that on his asking the pur-
chaser if he insisted on taking the horses, his
only answer was q draft by wire for $1,000
to bind tho bargain. "The buyer knows
horses added Martin "He's that new SCH
ator from Michigan"
Senator Stanford has colt born to him
every day in the year on the Palo Alto farm,
and he never sells an animal for less than
$1,000. When he sells he gives a printed
guarantee as to pedigree and health, but
never as to speed. He guarantees good
walking gait, but says nothing about trotting
traits None of his stock is ever spceded for
over quarter of a mile at time. He keeps
five horses in Washington, and rides behind
a pair Of big blacks that he bought in New
York simply for their style. His trotting
team, pair of fine bays. can go in 2:l4. The
Palo Alto farm employs 24o men, population
enough for neat little village, with school
and church of its own. It is the only town
in the world that was built by horse, and
Electioneer built it.-Washington Cor. New
